2008maverick21 Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Looking at 2006 Hewes Redfisher 115 Yamaha cracked cowling 400 hours Ipilot TM Boat has gone under water once What is a good number for this boat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamaskeet Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Obviously, any wiring that got wet is toast. If the engine went under, it's very suspect. The cowling is $300-$600 unless you can find someone to repair and refinish it. Only if you can steal this rig, is it worth taking a chance on all the thing that can go wrong with a submarine.

justfish Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 To me, it's worth whatever he hull alone is valued at, whatever that is. Engine hours and especially cracked cowlings dont really come into equation on a sunk motor. Or type of TM if it went under....I'd be more concerned with why it sunk, title status and the amount of project your taking on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convertible13 Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 What the heck did they do with that boat? It sank, cracked cowling... A good number for that boat to me is a big stinky number 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smilemaker Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 How many hours has the motor run since it played submarine If not running at the time and treated properly immediately after recovery it could still have some future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says a seller...to a smart buyer a sunk motor is worth about lower unit value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smilemaker Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 proper treatment is the key. Time underwater is a factor but time out of the water before being taken care of is more important. Once it comes out of the water the clock starts ticking. If it sat for any time after coming out of the water than yes it is a different story. The OP did not say if the motor has just sat or was restored and in what manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishmanjj Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 looks nice.......is this after it was recovered ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2008maverick21 Posted March 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 It was in a lift in Fish River Al. We had one those 100 year rains that happens about every 10 years you know. Boat was pinned down by the roof and when the water receded it was still in the lift, that's how cowling got cracked. Boat has been running around since then with no issues...3 years ago by the way. Gonna purchase in the next couple of days. Thanks again for the responses everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
